    Lol!

    Yeah! Given the money and the help, I would probably have built aquariums into most walls in my house. (I still feel very adamant that a Kitchen is totally redundant)

    It's just amazing what is out there...and the tranquility it brings...

    The Mandarin in the first pic is fairly common in the trade and quite cheap actually. The problem is that they rarely convert to prepared food and usually wither away in a tank when the live food has been consumed. Or they are out competed for it by other predatory fish, as they're fairly slow. The second pic is a piano blenny. Very pretty and I've caught and released several here in Slummies, but they're not kept in aquariums. This is as they feed by swimming up to other fish, taking chunks out of them and beating a hasty retreat.
